Programs

PARDS offers a variety of programs but ultimately seeks to accommodate. We don’t fit the client to a program, we find what fits for the client. It might be a combination of programs, a modification or a brand-new program altogether.

Our Key Programs

Program Rules & Etiquette

We ask that all our riders and groomers arrive at PARDS at least 10 minutes prior to their lesson start time (or earlier as needed) in order to change into their riding and grooming clothes/equipment. It is important that riders and groomers are ready for their lesson by the start time because we are unable to extend riding times due to scheduling constraints. If a rider is more than 15 minutes late for their scheduled class, they will not be permitted to ride. In all cases of late arrival, the Instructor will decide if there is enough time remaining for a lesson and may limit it to grooming only. A make-up lesson or credit will not be provided.

• Please call us as soon as possible to let us know if you are not able to make it to your lesson. This is important so we may prepare appropriately for each class and we can contact our wonderful Volunteers (who so generously help us every day) to let them know they are not required.
• If a client is unable to attend their scheduled lesson for any reason, a make-up lesson or refund will not be provided.
• If a lesson is cancelled due to inclement weather, a make-up lesson or refund will not be provided.
• If PARDS cancels a lesson, we will inform you immediately and a make-up lesson or credit to your account will be provided
